[generic name guy]

Flashlight++ is a modified version of RicardoLuis0's Flashlight+ mod, and expands upon it by adding extra features.

---

v9.1
-Crash fixes
-Shortened CVARs
-Shortened class names

v9.0
-Relicensed code under the Lesser GPL v3
-Added the Brutal Doom flashlight sound
-Fully customizable sway decoupled from position settings
-Fix offsetting the forward position making the flashlight shift up and down when looking around
-Make monster alerting more performant by ignoring it for the second beam
-Cleaned up code
-Fixes backported from my work on Project Brutality
-Added settings for noise (flickering) and attenuation
-Grace period for having the flashlight on at the start of a level so you don't accidentally alert enemies

v8.5
-Fixed a read from address zero crash if the player actor was deleted
-Fixed a divide by zero crash if the outer angle is set to 0
-Fixed a warning about an invalid keyconf bind
-Fixed an error where the mod would automatically bind the f key to Bullet Time X's bullet time command, now it properly binds it to the toggle button
-Sound code remade from scratch by A_D_M_E_R_A_L

v8.0
-Fixed the light spin bug in DarkDoomZ mode
-Added a new flashlight sound from LiTDOOM, it sounds like a springy click
-The light beam can now alert monsters, this is an option if you don't like it, though
-The credits are now more easily readable

v7.0
-I added a new position, Handheld from DarkDoomZ, it has the sway from DDZ, but don't worry since this doesn't apply to the other presets.
-Added a Russian translation
-New sounds were added (Prey '06, OP4, Selaco)
-Nash's tooltips were added, but not used yet.

I didn't even know Flashlight+ existed - I'm still using the old Steve's flashlight mod after all this time.

This is certainly an awesome upgrade, thank you for making and sharing it!

Thanks man, yeah, Flashlight+ really is just a better version of Steve's Flashlight

If someone could tell me how to fix the sound not playing in E1M1, that would help a lot

Ok, fixed the sound bug, it works perfectly now, i promise! (thank you RicardoLuis0)

Not sure how I haven't seen this until now, but I've been on the hunt for a good flashlight mod and this one appears to be even better then what I expected. Thank you very much, and from the looks of it, great work too. If you continue making presets, can you consider making one similar to the "Lamp" preset but have it flicker so it simulates torchlight and would fit well with Hexen/ Heretic maps?

I actually never... thought about something like that, not sure how possible it'd be though.
For Hexen/Heretic, the Blue and Green magic flashlights fit the best, since i themed them around those games.

I love this mod, but find one small thing to be missing - an option for flicker. Probably frequency, amount (whether it flickers to black, or whether it just fades) and length (are they quick flashes, or like, a long slow fade in and out).

This initially occurred to me when I saw the "lamp" preset, because I was thinking it'd be fun in a game in a fantasy setting, like an oil lamp. A slight flicker, instead of perfect consistency, would be amazing.

That being said, I realize you can't just like... keep throwing new features on the pile, it has to stop somewhere, and as a flashlight mod, this is pretty darn great already.

Thanks!

Thanks!

As for the flicker idea, i'm pretty sure flickering lights are hardcoded, i could make that a CVAR though, but having multiple copies of the same actor with different flicker properties would be kind of ugly, but i do have an idea...

[generic name guy]

but i do have an idea...

Well that went to shit quickly

Flickering is hardcoded and there isn't much documentation on Spotlight actors
